2026 sees Blue Sky Theatre marking ten years of outdoor theatre with a return to the romance of Jane Austen.
Our first show was Sense and Sensibility in three SA gardens. So we decided to celebrate by staging a new version of Jane Austen’s most popular tale of latent love, Pride and Prejudice.
As always with Blue Sky’s summer shows, the evening will have fun and charm to spare!
Mrs Bennet wants all five daughters married to single men in possession of a good fortune. But outspoken Lizzy is determined never to marry. Even when she meets the handsome Mr. Darcy, she believes he is the last man she could ever wed.
But as their lives become intertwined, she finds herself captivated by the man she has sworn to hate forever.
The show will feature a cast of Blue Sky theatre favourites including several who were in Sense and Sensibility.
We are staging 11 shows starting at Pat and Gerald Upphill’s charming garden in Victor Harbor, where we did our first show all those years ago. Then we move on to the lovely setting at The Cedars in Hahndorf and finish by returning to the delightful lawns at Carrick Hill in Springfield.
Tickets go on sale on 1 October. We expect them to sell quickly.
